Chapter 3805: The Soul Seizing Technique
Lin Moyu's primary purpose in seeking out Discernment Beast this time was to purchase the method for turning world wills into tools.
He had previously asked Wood Slaughter Realm Master about Human Sovereign's method and searched for it in the trading market.
However, Wood Slaughter Realm Master had explicitly stated that the method couldn't be disclosed.
When Human Sovereign taught this technique to the realm masters under his rule, they swore an oath anyone who revealed it would face severe punishment.
Under Human Sovereign's dominion, none dared defy him.
Lin Moyu knew asking Human Sovereign directly was out of the question it would be courting disaster. Even if Human Sovereign agreed to share the method, he would undoubtedly impose numerous restrictions, and the information might not be entirely accurate. Worse yet, it could be a trap.
Someone like Human Sovereign could set pitfalls that Lin Moyu wouldn't even notice.
Thus, Lin Moyu decisively turned to Discernment Beast, whom he trusted far more than Human Sovereign.
Discernment Beast looked at Lin Moyu and asked, "You plan to use this method against your world will?"
Lin Moyu nodded. "I've considered it this method should work."
Discernment Beast replied, "It's indeed feasible and it will significantly increase your chances of success."
Lin Moyu suddenly interjected, "Then why didn't you tell me last time?" He watched Discernment Beast closely for its explanation.
Discernment Beast chuckled, "You didn't ask and besides, you learned about it in World Tree Great Spirit Domain anyway. This method is highly valuable it doesn't come cheap."
Lin Moyu understood the implication Discernment Beast only revealed such information when asked directly so it could set a high price. If it volunteered the information, the price would likely be much lower.
Resigned, Lin Moyu said, "Alright name your price."
After some back-and-forth conversation, they finally got to the main topic.
Discernment Beast grinned. "During your journey through World Tree Great Spirit Domain and the vacuum zones between domains, you must have encountered Great Dao Beasts."
Lin Moyu admitted openly, "I did."
Discernment Beast said, "I want one essence orb from a Great Dao Beast."
Lin Moyu frowned slightly. "You don't have a world to cultivate what do you need essence orbs for?"
Discernment Beast shook its head. "Essence orbs aren't just for cultivating worlds I have other uses for them. What those are doesn't concern you just tell me whether you agree to this price."
Lin Moyu currently had twenty-five essence orbs giving one to Discernment Beast wasn't an issue.
However, since Discernment Beast set this price, it was clear that essence orbs were highly valuable.
Given their worth, Lin Moyu decided not to agree outright but negotiate further.
Unlike the Three Ancestors, Discernment Beast wasn't fond of playing games it preferred straightforward dealings.
"Fine," Lin Moyu said. "I'll give you an essence orb but I want to negotiate for more information as well."
Discernment Beast's eyes lit up. "Go ahead what do you want to know?"
Lin Moyu posed three questions:
Why does Human Sovereign possess the Three Lives Secret Method?
Does Human Sovereign's Heaven-Covering Stone mean he has been beyond the gate?
Where do Great Dao Beasts originate?
Lin Moyu didn't expect Discernment Beast to answer all three questions.
While these topics might not be difficult for Discernment Beast to address and might hold little value for others they were crucial for Lin Moyu.
However, asking such questions would undoubtedly raise the price.
Sure enough after hearing Lin Moyu's queries Discernment Beast chuckled and said, "Your questions are too many for just one essence orb, this won't suffice."
Lin Moyu countered: "Then I'll offer two essence orbs but I want to add one more question."
He continued: "The Lord of Hell mentioned something escaping from beyond the gate what is behind the gate, and what escaped?"
One secret technique plus four questions for two essence orbs seemed fair to Lin Moyu.
Discernment Beast nodded slowly. "That's reasonable we have a deal."
It conjured a transparent jade token infused with illusory power and handed it to Lin Moyu.
Knowledge is priceless a truth Lin Moyu deeply understood.
Human Sovereign forbade anyone from leaking his secret technique but Discernment Beast casually sold it for profit.
In this world, Discernment Beast was undoubtedly the ultimate intelligence broker.
Its information came at a steep cost one few could afford.
Activating the jade token with soul energy a technique called Soul Seizing Technique flowed into Lin Moyu's consciousness and was quickly mastered.
Examining the technique closely Lin Moyu noticed significant differences from other methods he knew it bore striking similarities to the Three Lives Secret Method.
"Soul Seizing Technique it feels connected to Three Lives Secret Method they share a common origin," Lin Moyu remarked instinctively.
Discernment Beast laughed: "Your intuition is correct the two techniques are indeed related they both originate from beyond the gate."
It then addressed Lin Moyu's first question:
"Why does Human Sovereign possess the Three Lives Secret Method? Because he created it himself but its foundation lies beyond the gate."
"Human Sovereign is exceptionally intelligent and so is Three Lives Buddha they both encountered something beyond the gate and developed their own versions of Three Lives Secret Method."
"However Human Sovereign proved even smarter not only creating Three Lives Secret Method but also developing Soul Seizing Technique."
Stunned by this revelation Lin Moyu asked incredulously: "Three Lives Secret Method was inspired by something beyond the gate?"
This answer shattered his previous understanding.
He had always believed Three Lives Buddha invented his technique independently a feat he greatly admired.
But Discernment Beast's explanation painted a different picture entirely.
"Creating such techniques isn't easy," Discernment Beast continued. "Even after encountering something extraordinary not everyone can develop corresponding methods."
"For instance that individual also ventured beyond the gate and saw what they saw but failed to create any techniques."
"This alone proves Three Lives Buddha's genius but also highlights Human Sovereign's brilliance."
Moving on it addressed Lin Moyu's second question:
"Regarding your second query I won't allow you to change it the deal is final."
Lin Moyu sighed in frustration but asked hopefully: "Could you share some minor details instead?"
Discernment Beast seemed amused by Lin Moyu's disappointment and replied cheerfully:
"You asked you can't take it back. Human Sovereign obtained his Heaven-Covering Stone from beyond the gate."
"The stone conceals heavenly secrets it can deceive heaven and earth as well as Great Dao itself."
"Avatars created using Heaven-Covering Stone are undetectable even if killed the heavens will temporarily believe their true body has died."
"Of course the stone has other uses you'll have to explore those yourself."
Finally it answered Lin Moyu's third question:
"Great Dao Beasts originate from Origin Ancestral Land in a place called Wilderness."
